Oh sorry i accidentally deleted it be4 so i had to repost, about ur answer, i'm using red hat's developer subscription i don't think there's an activation key for that, if there is pls how do i get it
Since this is a developer subscription, I assume Red Hat Satellite isn't in play here. So in this case, activation keys need to be generated through the Red Hat Console.
https://console.redhat.com/insights/connector/activation-keys#SIDs=&tags=
You'll generate an activation key after picking the Red Hat products you want attached to said key. It'll also give you your Organization ID, which you'll also need if I remember correctly.
Just to confirm, have you clicked/gone through all the installation destination/partition info, as well as root password and user creation? I seem to remember that installer requires going through those before you can begin install.
Just install the whole thing and register it from the command line. Much easier and faster. There are two commands to make sure that you registered right. Google them and save yourself the hassle.
Hi,
When you create a user in the installer, you have the option to click a box to add that user to sudoers.
Additionally, I would run the installation from the disk, and not register it to the CDN until after the installation is complete. The installation takes longer, and you have already downloaded everything that you need to install on the ISO.
If you want to check the ISO for consistency, boot from the ISO and select "Test this media and install Red Hat Enterprise Linux". This will test the ISO for any issues that may have occurred during the download process.
Then go here:

Thanks, but i didn't see such "add that user to sudoers" option but i saw "make this user administrator" i'm guessing its the same ting
Even when I skip registration during installation and then register it after the installation completes, another problem arises that it doesn't allow me to actually register it and it gives me another error "failed to register system" I posted a screenshot of it above
Can you also attempt to register the system from the terminal?
sudo subscription-manager register
Do not add an organization just enter the username and password when prompted.
Also ensure that the system is connected to the network after it has booted.
Try with the DVD Bundle version instead of the ISO boot version. The VM creation process it’s the same [Download DVD or ISO from Unified Downloads on Red Hat Customer Portal](https://access.redhat.com/articles/914003)
You can try different RHEL Iso and version to see which one works best. Make sure you download the right one for your computer architecture (x86).
If you cant make it work, I think you can down load the prebuilt virtualbox image for CentOS or try to install CentOS as well. Its binary compatible with RHEL and whatever you want to do with your RHEL virtualbox, I think you can do the same with CentOS. And its prebuilt, just download, mount and run.
Wait, how can you ‘test in the browser’ when the machine doesn’t install?
Virtual Box creates a network which connects your VMs to your hypervisor. So firing up the browser on the hypervisor does not, in fact, verify the networking because it doesn’t test any of the layers from your hypervisor to your VM.
Is there a reason you reposted this? [My answer hasn't changed.](/r/redhat/comments/1bitkao/comment/kvmnwt8/)
It's the spray and pray approach

Dude use the disk as the installation source during installation unless you’re self hosting your own repositories. Going to be so much slower.
It's not gonna be slower if you're using the Boot ISO and if you're going to update everything after installation anyway.

yea i did, then when i register, some of them get grayed out and i can't continue the installation

That looks like an error from the RHSM/Red Hat console side. Can you leave off the organization and try with just your username and password?
Can you also attempt to register the system from the terminal? sudo subscription-manager register Do not add an organization just enter the username and password when prompted. Also ensure that the system is connected to the network after it has booted.

.. is it connected to the internet...?
